Emerald Collection will open its first Maldives property on December 4.

The 120-villa Emerald Maldives Resort and Spa is located on the Raa Atoll and works on a ‘deluxe all-inclusive’ basis. 

All guests are allowed to dine at any of the property’s four restaurants (including the Maldives' first South American eatery) as many times as they like and can use the villa mini bar at no additional cost. 

Watersports, a diving centre, kids club and gym and sports centre are also on offer. 

“With Emerald Maldives Resort & Spa, we wanted to create a sanctuary for guests who wish to escape the pressures and stress of modern day life,” said Simone Scarapicchia, partner and director of sales and marketing for the property.

“For couples, the new resort offers intimacy and an oasis of calm and connection, while for families, the island is a fun-filled haven and the perfect recipe for long lasting memories.” 

Emerald Collection, which launched in 2013, also has two properties in Zanzibar.
